president obama now ows that in play but a the american people have voted for his vision, a vision where reliance, i think, on a everyone gets a fair shot. last night, the american people realization that america is a diverse country.d said they stand with the president on his vision of a we liberal democratic governance, on taxes, on medicare, on health there was a sign among republicans that this was still reagan's america. 88% of the share of e vote was care. this was an election about the white americans and that is just fundamentals of our nation, not the way america looks right now. if you went to a romneyrally, o about what kind of people we want to be. >> that's why elections matter. it's not small. it's big. crowds romney rallies, much whiterc , older american. it's important. democracy in a 300 be noisy an bama rallies, much more diverse. and i think people are surprised th the table on the strength of y vot. and it necessarily stirs 15% in ohio, 20% in virginia. even when you talk to republicans now, they do talk passions, stirs of controversy. about wanting to make inroads t community but that won't change after tonight. you don'twant to make community. and it shouldn't.

coming up, on the night of american people, even those who big victory meetings that president obama had with presidential historian. you'll want to hear what he said about his legacy. disagree with him, i think they if you think running a reaurant is hard, respect this president, like him, and trust a one of the big issues that i think bubbled try running four. up in these exit polls yesterday . was the issue of trust. it gives us 5x the rewards so, you know, i had confidence, on our internet, phone arges and cable, though i knew it was going to be plus at office supply stores. a close race. our campaign knew it was going úwa into our business. to be close and we built a campaign for those states. h of thmake your mark thing wewith ink from chase. people working and knocking on doors, talking to people. we knew who our voters were. we registered voters at a pegidus rate and it paid off yesterday. >> now, if you win florida, you have run the table. did you think it was possible to do that and what made the difference? was it money? was it the amount of volunteers

of the pundits in. >> the interesting thing on money, and i think this is a good thing on democracy, there was more money on the other side, particularly at the end of the campaign we saw the republican over $100 millionust in t on tv whic your bosses but not necessarily for democracy and, you know, the greathing about this is that when you think abouthe billionaires, special interests, defeating the president, in turning the house and was not j re-elected but we have more

democrats in the house even thou t do they get for money? i bet there are a&l lot of angr volunteers across this country in organization and we executed well. not just off election day but in the year and a half leading up to election day. >> now, you heard senator mcconnell last night saying that, well, the american people voted that they wanted to see certain things basically along partis then boehnercome to the table. what du and we've heard this

before. let me play to you boehner and get your reaction. let me play speaker boehner to you. >> okay. >> mr. president, this is your moment. we're ready to be led. not as democrats or republicans but a americans. we want you to succeed. let's challenge ourselves for the common ground that has eluded us and do the right thing together for our country. >> did they say things before that didn't end up with republicans in the house, is the fact that now the presidentas run for re-election, does that change things? has the fever br9en? do you think that they are at a place now where we can get something done or is the gridlock going to reappear? in the hours since president >> well, i hope ;unot. obama's victory, he's already called both republican and

only time will tell. democratic leaders in congress but this is a welcome tone.  qyou know, four years ago on to say it's time to work on night of the inauguration, 15 republican leaders, mostly in bipartisan solutions. the house, got together to talk so will republicans be open to about how they cld bng down the administration and deat that dreaded word "compromise"? the prt.esiden if they start this new joining me now is congressman administration wh a different emanuel cleveland, democrat from attitude, i think that would be very, very positive because ultimately the american people will want us to get things done. missouri and maria teresa kumar, an msnbc contributor. th are not in hyper thanks to both of you for being here tonight. >> thank you, reverend. partisanship. they aren not interested in the >> good to be with you, reverend. kinds of search and destroy >> congressman, congratulation on your re-election last night. missions, one party against the >> thank you. >> congressman, do you think other. they want progress. republicans will work with the d we'll see -- there will obviously be a series of issues that will come up. though, in would say about the president on a second term our democracy, the agenda? >> well, you know, i'm not responsibility is shared. calling anybody a name. i'm just going to use imagery as an sit back a the president, you and i do in the real world. we wanto be led. the president has made a

proposal, forn that is but if a snake does not cast its skin, the snake will eventually substantive and meaningful.tert be cast into the reptile cemetery. you've got to change or you're going to die. other ideas. but if your attitude is we're and that's the reality. simply going to oppose, then however, keep in mind that the 87 tea party republicans are it's hard to get things done. so we'll see, as i said, time will tell. >> you mentioned the word trust, still there and having heard earlier today of the tea party spokesperson saying that they the american people trusting the can the preside> absolutely. cutting taxes for small businesses. >> i'm a preacher, reverend. there's a number of things in >> i'm a witness. which there has been some you are definitely there.

cooperation and now theuestion let me ask you, marie too reece is, can we build on that? those words are sa. well-received and now we just the speaker, john boehner, in his statement today was sounding want the actions to follow the very nonpartisan in his speech words. >> what do feel will be the that he gave this afternoon. things the preside listen to this. >> mr. president, the run achieve? what will be his priorities iny? majority here in the house stands ready to work with you to where do younk to go do what's best for our country. and bring the country? >> well, you kn, think that is the will of the people and we will answer to them. you shoguld expect the preside shoring up entitlements, closing toia fro the fundamental principles from what he's ca we want to continue to build ede the tax code, closing the loopholes and deductions and moving to a fair and simpler system will bring jobs home and best in the world and make result in a stronger, healthier economy. acce. higher education or >> is this a new leaf for john boehner? is it a new john boehner or available to eve'ry american s should we not trust it? that they can earn goo middle >> i think if he had his way, he class salaries and support their would get the 87 republicans on family as and have some research his side to do something. i don't think he's an obstructionist however i do think that there's an incredible in technology and innovation because that's where the good jobs come aúfrom.

we want to lead the world in clean energyecauset' way that we can get control of opportunity for the republicans our energy future and also right now and for the president. they have the hard work to do. they have to talk about the create goojobs. fiscal cliff. and we want to end the war in they have to go ahead and talk about a lot of the entitlement programs but they should talk right now about immigration and this is an opportunity for the republican party to have a come afghanistan and do nation to jesus moment and it building here at home. solidifies president obama to so he'll follow, i think on all challenge which is to egoing tocothat work begins say, you know, i am the president of the civil rights first talking about don't ask -- repealing don't ask, don't tell, immediately and there's one now talking about immigration, issue, reverend, that i think we our second civil rights movement, and it also solidifies the latino vote for the ought to be able to move on- very, very quickly, and that is immigration reform. when i came to wasngton with democratic party for years to 2009, hate s come. >> i noticed tonight we had mr. axelrod on and he mentioned immigration and 71% of latinos congress, both republicans and did vote for the president yesterday. a very large number. congressman cleaver, when you democrats, who had supported mprehensive immigration reform look at the issues facing the with you. congress and this let's lock arms and get this administration, deficit done. and th a policy decision was deduction, tax reform, climate made by the republican leadershiphat they were not going to play and they didn't the most strident suee they di change, alternate energy, what

voices. they paid a big price for that. do you think is the possible voter.dent got bipartisan ent tray to begin this conversation of new spirit i think that they are going to in washington? >> well, i think that we've got to be very careful when we start off after we go back next week an opportunity to move on and that we ought to -- my thataisoon suggestion to the president and to the leadership in the house >> d, is that we not bring up any of president five or six years¥ the incidiary issues, that we do certainly you've been around them more than most. the thing that strikes me is how cool he is under fire. something rather simple and that everybody can agree on. we should be able to agree on a he never -- with all of this farm bill having had the worst ugliness and acrimony, he's drought since the dust bowl so it's going to be difficult to come up with that. let me just say, i agree that this campaign. and the other thing is that he seems to be a big picture john boehner wants to make the trains run on time and i think in all of the meetings,úzn he he is an old time ohio politician. it's not him. it's the tea party guys and if always is kind of above the they are coming back after this minute minutia, the day to day break saying, we are not ready you've to compromise, we believe that you know him better than anyone. what hasey been like compromise is capitulation, then

ladies and gentlemen, around and what kind of person is he? this country, it's going to be a is he really that big thinker rough ride between now and who would lose hisly self-assur? tell us about the -- >> you know, your observations january 1. >> let me ask you, maria, a lot of it is that i don't think that there's a realistic view of how are absolutely right. things go badly he's the first america has shifted. when you look at the fact that in 1953, 98% of the house person to get up and say, okay, how are we g democratic caucus were white males, today is 53%. next year less than half will be comprised of whites. that's just in the congress, not foard? here's how we need to go, which even dealing with the is a great leadership quality. electorate. he long term.eye on the ball and i think that some of them are ep doesn't get all distracd sta. he has goals and he keep pressingeábj forward and he com looking at an america that does not exist anymore. those around him to keep pressing forward to achieve >> i actually think that we have those goals but i would add a to stop keeping -- we have to stop to try and keep the gop -- to get them off the hook. third quality and i've seen i think they actually know exactly what they are doing and itr -- i'm ie i saw it again t that's one of the reasons when we started talking about when it comes to voter i.d. laws and voter suppression laws, they knew that they had limited time. we don't have a latino vote or black vote. let's make sure that we figure staff people to thank themt them out in the next election.
